In this article, we will develop an Android application which facilitates users to input latitude and longitude in EditText control and on clicking the button “Show in Map”, the input location is marked in Google Map Android API V2.

This application is developed in Eclipse 4.2.1 with ADT plugin ( 21.1.0 ) and Android SDK ( 21.1.0 ) and is tested in a real Android Phone with Android ( 2.3.6 ).

1. Download and configure Google Play Services Library in Eclipse

Please follow the given below link to setup Google Play Service library in Eclipse.

Hi Sir, I followed your tutorial and tested in my Galaxy Ace 2,Android v2.36. It run normally but after I typed Latitude and Longitude, the application can’t load GoogleMap. It says that “Sorry, Application LocationMarkerLatLng(process in.wptrafficanalyzer.locationmarkerlatlng has been stopped unexpectedly. Try again”. Would you like to tell me why? Thank sir n advance

I would like to be able to use this gmaps function, but without the extra activity. I would need it to get the coordinates from a text box just like in “Android Geocoding – Showing User Input Location on Google Map Android API V2″, like regular google maps does.
